When I downloaded and tried to install GeForce driver 347.52, I saw the files self-extract as usual, but before the installer started, an NVIDIA INSTALL windows opened and stated, "The data is invalid." and quit. This is the first time I have seen this.
I re-downloaded the file just to make sure it wasn't corrupted, but the result was the same. In fact, I downloaded several prior versions of the driver to see if it was something to do with 347.52, but it isn't. It seems now, no matter what GeForce driver I download, if I try to install it directly, it will self-extract as expected, and then promptly give me the message, "The data is invalid." and quit.
I found a work around by going into the Device Manager control panel, right clicking on one of the display adapters, selecting, "Update Driver Software...", and then pointing it to the path where the driver software was extracted. The driver update then installed.
While the above workaround method worked for me, I'd like to fix the problem with the normal installer, or at least understand what the problem is. Under the workaround, I don't have any options for updating PhysX, etc.
Any info / advice on this? Thanks!
